Data from this study are expected to demonstrate that Gardasil (V501, Human Papillomavirus [Types 6, 11, 16, 18] Recombinant Vaccine), when administered concomitantly with a combined diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and poliomyelitis vaccine in adolescents remains immunogenic and well-tolerated and it does not impair the immunogenicity of the concomitant vaccines.
